--------------------

Paige had insisted that Beck meet up with her at the diner, not be the one to take her there. She had made it clear that it wasn't a date. If anything, it was an interrogation. She'd had her suspicions about Beck for a while, and this was the perfect time to clear the air. She sat alone at a corner booth, mentally analyzing each program that entered, should they be a threat.

He sat down across from the commander, face warming slightly. "Hey, Paige," he offered, cringing at the break in his voice.

The waitress lead them to a table beside Paige and Beck. Chris didn't mind, but he hoped Skye was okay with it. "Like it? It's one of my favorite diners." He needed to start a conversation. He took a deep breath.

"What would you two like to drink?"

"A energy soda, please." Chris requested.

"And what would the she-program like?"

"And what would the she-program like?"

"Just a tall glass of b-grade energy, please," Skye said, not exactly recognizing the two programs nearby. A basic and a firewall... kind of like them! Actually, the firewall was a girl, and it looked like the guy wasn't an ISO, so... not exactly like them.

Although, he was quite attractive, she'd admit. She wasn't about to tell Chris that, though. Heck, she barely knew the guy!

----------------------------------

Paige acknowledged Beck's greeting, running a finger around the rim of her glass. "So what was it you had in mind for us to discuss?" she asked, not looking up at him.

Beck noticed the second firewall soldier and... what seemed to be his date take a seat near them. He spaced out for a second, brought back only by the sound of Paige's voice. "Well, I..." he cleared his throat. Man, he was making a train wreck of this. "I actually had something to suggest. You being a firewall soldier and everything. I don't normally talk politics, but I figured you'd want to hear an idea I had concerning the whole... Renegade situation." He shifted in his seat a little. He had to think of something that didn't make it seem like he was supporting him-- himself, actually-- but he didn't want to make it harder for his Renegade persona to... well, exist.

"Got it."
The waitress left to get the drinks, and had left the menu for the two programs to use.

"What do you want for dinner?" Chris asked. He wanted to start a conversation! He needed to talk about something... He shook it off, and hoped Skye could start a conversation. He took the menu, and looked for something to eat.

[DUN DUN DUNNN]
Pavel sat at a table by himself. He had gone after the two programs who beat him up, but he wanted to see Paige fail at her date. The other program was plain old dirt. Can't start a convocation, huh?

(oh, Paige won't fail-- but Beck might--)
(OH- AND FOOD EXISTS! Not just energy! And programs eat it! At least an ISO and two users did. I'm referencing a scene in Tron Legacy. Quorra is so adorable in it. X3)

"That's, um... that's an excellent question," Skye bit her lip in confusion as she scanned the menu, eyes darting from one option to the next. They had so many things to choose from! How was she supposed to pick one? She guessed the larger meals had higher prices, so she steered away from those and looked at the less expensive options. "Um... what are you getting?"

(imagine if she ordered a kid's meal though)

------------------

Paige stopped tracing the glass and looked up at Beck, only with her eyes. "Go on," she said slowly, unsure where this was going.

(he's TRYING, okay?)

Beck noticed Pavel off to one side of the diner and lowered his voice. "So... you know how you guys have so may soldiers deployed in Argon? What if the Renegade was distracting you from other crimes? Purgos is full of corruption like that."

"A steak. How come?" Chris asked. He had put his menu down, and waited for the waitress to come back. He stared into Skye's jade eyes, careful not to get entranced in them. He wondered what Amber was doing right now. This date is going good. This date is going good.

Pavel let out a small laugh at Beck. "Politics? On what your, third date with a inferior commander? Tch." Pavel scoffed at Beck and Paige.

Skye shrugged. "I've never gone out to eat like this," she admitted. "Is that weird?" She scanned the print again, then gave up after reading the umpteenth variation of a combo meal. "I'll have that too, then."

"Pavel, use your mouth for eating, not for talking," Paige growled, rolling her eyes. She hated having to quote Tesler to him in public; he should know better. Then again, it was Pavel she was dealing with. "The reason we have so many soldiers focused on the task of hunting the Renegade is because of the possibility of an uprising. We don't want other programs joining his side, because it could hypothetically lead to a civil war. And for the record, I don't remember asking for your advice." She was less irritated with Beck, if she was honest, but the edge was still there when she spoke with him.

Beck let out a sigh. Of course this was going to happen. Although the one thing Paige said before she insulted him provoked his thoughts. "So... there's a chance of an uprising?" He tried his best not to look proud of himself. He hoped Pavel would shut up. In fact, it was his first date. Unless that time Lux saved him and brought him to her place counted as one. Then this would be his second.

"It isn't. You sure you want a steak? They're quite big. I'm not too sure if you can handle such a big item." Chris knew the steaks here were quite big, it was a somewhat expensive item. But, with being a firewall program came with it's traits. You get paid a lot more compared to other jobs. Granted, it was dangerous and boring. With the Renegade, it was a mess to be a firewall solider. He was sure the Renegade was sitting right beside them, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Have you chosen what you would like to have today?"

"I'm not hungry. But, it seems you filled up your plate." Pavel countered. He drank some energy he had, and continued to watch the two programs.
